Hi:

 

This is the only support page for your model regardless of the motherboard it has.

 

https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/HP-Pavilion-dv7-Entertainment-Notebook-PC-series/50...

 

Is there a particular driver you can't find on the support page?

 

If so, please post the hardware ID for the device that needs the driver, and I will see if I can find the one you need.

 

Use this guide for how to find the hardware ID for a device.

Hello,

Thank you for your answer.
I want to update the bios (F.1B motherboard N ° 1659, Product N ° LX248EA # ABF) and I have doubts concerning the bios of the 6100 series.
Motherboard N°1658 Can I use it to update the laptop? Thanks, have a good day

Hi:

 

It should work.

 

That file would be for any dv7-61xx with an Intel processor.

 

You can see that this is also the same BIOS file for the general model series...

You have a good day too!
